February 1, 2024 – Girl Scouts of Central Illinois is kicking off the 2024 Girl Scout Cookie season on Friday February 2nd.
The program said its “empowering girls to unbox their futures as young female business leaders through the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls.”
During this time of the year, girls flex their entrepreneurial muscles and acquire important life skills like goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with local councils and troops to power Girl Scouts’ amazing experiences year-round. This year’s theme, Unbox the Future, aims to remove social barriers that often keep girls boxed in.
This season, cookie lovers can enjoy fan favorites such as Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites®, Peanut Butter Sandwich and more.
“We are approaching the 2024 Cookie Season in full force,” said GSCI Interim CEO Kelly Day. “Thousands of girls across central Illinois are ready to open their cookie businesses, setting up shop in front of retail center and malls, walking neighborhoods door to door and selling online. Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts such as service projects, troop travel and summer camp.”
